My HP Pavilion dv9005us has two issues which I cannot resolve.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

My compaqnc6000 will not come on at all. I took it in today and the guy couldn't figure it out...said it could be the mother board. Then while sitting in traffic I tried it and it came on.I shut it down, brought it home and tried again and I'm getting nothing. Not a blue screen...nothing. It acts as if it's going to come on and then shuts down. Please help???
